Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) is collaborating with Maersk Oil Research and Technology Centre to publish proceedings from the fourth International Whale Shark Conference (IWSC).
The three-day event taking place in Qatar ends tomorrow.
The proceedings will be available on QScience.com, the online, open-access publishing platform of HBKU Press.
The goal of the partnership is to maximise the global influence and impact of IWSC by widening access to its published research and proceedings. Through QScience.com and QScience Proceedings, HBKU Press will provide a forum for the dissemination of abstracts given at the conference. Further, all proceedings are open-access and free-to-read, thereby maximising reach and impact.
“Through this type of partnership, HBKU Press strives to fulfil a key component of its mission: widening access to scholarly content,” a statement noted. Examples of previous partnerships include the SLA-AGC 22nd Annual Conference, the Qatar Green Building Conference and the Global Innovators Conference, among others.
For each conference, QScience.com publishes a special volume, with its own dedicated web page, and every abstract or paper is citable through a digital object identifier link.
“Our partnership with Maersk Oil Qatar reflects our commitment to academic research and open access,” said Dr Alwaleed Alkhaja, senior editor at HBKU Press. “Through QScience Proceedings, we are able to widen access to the important discussions, collaborations and findings taking place at IWSC, thereby reaching the broadest possible audience regardless of physical boundaries.”
The special issue for the fourth International Whale Conference is currently available to view at http://www.qscience.com/toc/qproc/2016/2
Abdularahman al-Emadi, head of the Maersk Oil Research and Technology Centre, said: “We are proud to collaborate with HBKU Press in publishing more than 60 abstracts that will be presented during the International Whale Shark Conference.”
Participants of the conference will also be able to learn more about HBKU Press and QScience.com by visiting its booth at the venue, Grand Hyatt Doha.
